The Two Silks: Chan Si Jing and Cho Si Jing – On the Inner and Outer Path of Silk Reeling

There is an old story about a silk farmer who, early one morning, lowers a cocoon into warm water. With a single steady finger, she finds the thread’s beginning and begins to reel. Too much tension – the thread breaks. Too little – it tangles and is lost. The whole art lives in the middle: a continuous, alive, listening motion, neither forcing nor abandoning.

In the tradition of Taijiquan, this story is not just a metaphor. It is a technical instruction. And at the...

When I meet with my spine surgeon for a regular follow up post-surgery this Friday, I'm going to ask if it is safe for me to try yoga and/or tai chi. I've heard so many good things about these over the years. They would have to be learned at home by me, because I can't do groups/instructors for various reasons.

Here's hoping for another evolution towards greater health!

This morning @steggy went to her #TaiChi class because they were doing a special workshop on fans.

I said “oh, you all are starting an OnlyFans”?

I am a dad. I am licensed to make that joke.

Well, it was world taichi day today, and I practised for an hour and then taught for an hour.

In preparation yesterday, I spent a lot of time drawing pictures of feet.

Before you ask, I don't have an #onlyfans page 😄

Morning Mist Rising

I woke before dawn and walked to the meadow at the valley’s edge, drawn by some intuition I couldn’t name. The air hung thick with moisture, and as the first grey light touched the eastern sky, I realized the entire valley was filled with fog – a solid white mass that erased all detail, turning the familiar landscape into abstraction. I found a boulder at the meadow’s edge and settled there to wait, though I wasn’t sure what I was waiting for.

The fog felt alive so...

Anchoring the new higher frequencies in TRUTH

WE ARE now at the beginning of a new phase of higher frequency bandwidths, as that which no longer aligns with the frequency that WE ARE moving from now begins to recede WE ARE asked to understand the importance of accessing and permitting the download of the new higher frequency bandwidths. There is much talk of "ascension" symptoms and I have always maintained that any "ascension symptom" is merely a non adherence to the releasing of frequency. If we do not let go of that which is shown […]

Echo Canyon

The trail descended into a narrow gorge where red rock walls rose sheer on both sides, smooth and sculpted by ancient water. The path followed a dry streambed, sand and smooth stones underfoot, and the walls leaned inward, creating a roof of sky that seemed impossibly distant. Sound behaved strangely here – my footsteps echoed and re-echoed, bouncing between the walls until they became something other than footsteps, a rhythm that seemed to come from the canyon itself. I stopped walking...

Fang Song: The Taoist Art of Deep Relaxation in Motion

Fang Song (放鬆), often translated simply as “relaxation,” represents one of the most fundamental yet frequently misunderstood principles in Tai Chi Chuan, qigong, and all Nei Jia (internal martial arts) practices. The concept describes a state of relaxed openness that differs fundamentally from Western notions of either muscular tension or limp collapse, instead cultivating what practitioners call “relaxed structure” or “dynamic relaxation” where the body rema...
